So fun to share with you a Boston program we are doing with Terry Francona. If you buy any box of Bigelow Tea at a Stop and Shop in the month of October, you are automatically entered into a sweepstakes. The Stop & Shop Sweepstakes winner gets to go to Fenway Park and share a cup of Bigelow tea with Terry and talk baseball for an hour.

I guess it wouldn’t be appropriate if I entered myself? Oh well.  I can at least be happy for the winner — whoever that might be…..

We are happy to announce that Ms. Joyce Johnson of Inverness, IL is the Grand Prize winner, and is very excited to win the fun and environmentally aware smart fortwo. The sweepstakes dates were September through December 10th, 2008. Bigelow Tea thanks everyone who participated in the smart fortwo sweepstakes!

Ms. Joyce Johnson, Winner of the smartfortwo sweepstakes

Bigelow Tea teamed up with Jewel-Osco because of their mutual commitment to being green. While the health benefits of drinking Bigelow Tea are well known, the smart fortwo sweepstakes is a great way to demonstrate commitment to a healthy environment too. The smart fortwo is classified as an Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) due to its extremely low exhaust emissions. As with the ecological benefits of smart fortwo, Bigelow Tea takes part in environmentally responsible choices to help promote a sustainable future. As a good corporate citizen, Bigelow Tea remains committed to protecting the environment and strives to improve environmental responsiveness.

Our society uses a great deal of energy in our daily commutes and in working and playing every day. There are several tactics that we can employ to save on energy costs while reducing our carbon emissions impact. Active recycling at home and in business, and use of fluorescent lights are a couple of great ways to address the challenge of reducing our carbon footprint. Here’s to a sustainable and smart future!
